The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall for over 10,000 Arlopu slide playsets sold online through Amazon.com and Walmart.com between April 2023 and August 2026. The recall targets two model numbers, KT‑CS17 and LY‑31, after the agency identified serious safety concerns.
Safety concerns that prompted the recall
The CPSC found that openings in the playset structures could trap a child’s head or neck, creating a risk of serious injury or death. In addition, the basketball nets attached to the playsets can become unhooked from the rim, posing an entanglement and strangulation hazard.
What owners should do
Consumers who own any of the recalled playsets should stop using them immediately. Arlopu is offering a free repair kit that includes redesigned panels, a new basketball hoop, and updated installation instructions. To receive the kit, owners must email a photo of the product showing the model number to [email protected]. Once the request is approved, the kit will be mailed directly to the consumer.
How to identify the affected units
The recall applies to playsets sold under the Arlopu brand with the model numbers KT‑CS17 and LY‑31. Prices ranged from $90 to $130 at the time of purchase. If you purchased a slide playset from Amazon or Walmart within the specified date range, check the product labeling or packaging for these model numbers.
Why the recall matters for families
Parents and caregivers rely on safe, reliable equipment for their children’s recreation. The CPSC’s action underscores the importance of vigilant product safety monitoring and swift corrective measures when hazards are discovered. By providing a free repair kit, Arlopu aims to address the design flaws without burdening families with additional costs.
